Soy Based Formula

Soy protein offers a vegetarian-based alternative to the milk proteins commonly found in most baby formulas. So while most infants are perfectly fine consuming milk based proteins, for some soy protein is preferred as recommended by a pediatrician. Soy baby formula provides the same complete amount of nutrition to cover infant health needs but does not contain cow's milk protein and lactose, a sugar that is found in cow's milk. Store Brand Formula's soy based infant formula contains nutrients such as ARA and DHA to support eye and brain development in babies, just like milk-based formulas.

A Vegetarian Protein Source that is Easy to Digest

Protein-rich soybeans have been used in human dietary regimens for centuries. Our soy formula is formulated with lactose-free soy-protein isolate nutrients that are easy to digest. Like milk based store brands produced by Perrigo Nutritionals, the soy based powder formula is manufactured in Vermont, USA, and meets or exceeds the recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).

According to the AAP,* a number of clinical studies on soy baby formula have documented normal growth and development in term infants. In addition, the average energy intakes babies fed soy protein formulas are equivalent to those achieved with milk infant formulas.

Product Quality and Affordable Healthcare

Our FDA-certified infant formula factory in Vermont focuses on domestic and international regulatory compliance and food safety. The facility maintains numerous certifications, including good manufacturing practices, which qualify it as a cGMP facility. With a manufacturing heritage that dates back to Wyeth over three decades, our factory also meets stringent ISO guidelines and is certified by QAI to manufacture organic formulas (organic milk and organic soy formula) compliant with USDA regulations. In line with its commitment to quality, affordable healthcare, Perrigo Nutritionals was the first formula company to become fully compliant with the Safe Quality Food Program (SQF-Level 3).

With a soy protein source, babies can develop and grow just like babies fed cow's milk formulas, only soy protein isolate is the protein source for nutritional needs. Moreover, like all store brands, store brand soy baby formula typically saves moms and dads up $600 a year** versus more pricey national brands such as Enfamil® ProSobee® and Isomil® Advance® baby formulas.
